A second Camino
Christina wanted to stop stalling mid-conversation.
She had walked a Camino in Spain and found speaking the hardest part, even though reading and listening were easier. With the Accelerator, her writing and speaking improved, and she started thinking in Spanish. She has booked another Camino and feels more confident speaking with locals.

A honeymoon in Chile
Steve wanted more than “quiero dos huevos.”
He and his fiancée were planning their honeymoon in Santiago, and he wanted real conversations with Chileans. Two-thirds of the way through the program, he had moved from the basic present tense to using the subjunctive and conditional.

Moving past a plateau
Keith knew the tenses but heard himself using the wrong verb forms.
After retiring, he was determined to become bilingual, but hit a plateau after three or four years. Weekly essays with corrections showed him what to work on, and his coach adapted each session to what he was struggling with.

Family in two languages
Timothy wanted to talk with his bilingual grandchildren.
He grew up surrounded by Spanish but never became fluent. After his first 90 days, with a personalised study plan and a shared journal with his coach, he noticed the biggest improvement in his pronunciation, and he signed up for another 90 days.
